But a make world remains a compiler pass if somewhat large. How on earth does a make world justify the reason that a box cannot be used? I may be thick regarding this but every make world I have done was under X and with me reading/writing email. Sure the compilation take somewhat longer, but in no way does it justify the reason to not touch the box. And I can also not see what swapping should have to do with the failure of a compiler pass. Someone is bound to point me in the right direction if I am spewing forth erroneously thought-up ideas. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Pax vobiscum... asmodai(at)wxs.nl Network/Security Specialist <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; BSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve <http://www.freebsd.org>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
